DC Rojc Open Air 2025 brings Mother’s Cake, Messa, Nemeček, and many more hot acts

On July 11 and 12, the Pula Social Center Rojc transforms into a vibrant open-air music and arts festival under the stars. Organized by the independent local label and booking agency No Profit Recordings, the two-day event will feature a diverse lineup of international and Croatian artists, united by a common thread: rock’n’roll in all its forms, with almost no genre boundaries.

The lineup includes Mother’s Cake, Messa, Nemeček, She Loves Pablo, Them Moose Rush, My Pitbull Lucifer, Kadeadkas, and Sheik Anorak.

From Austrian Psychedelia to Italian “Scarlet Doom”

Mother’s Cake, an energetic Austrian trio, are known for their electrifying live shows that blend progressive rock, funk, and psychedelia. After touring Europe, Australia, and Asia and sharing stages with bands like Deftones, Limp Bizkit, and Wolfmother, they arrive in Istria to present their latest album “Ultrabliss,” supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Zagreb. Messa, a renowned Italian doom metal band, will showcase their freshly released album “The Spin.” Their sound channels doom’s essence through elements of progressive rock, punk, dark jazz, and even black metal.

Nemeček, a Slavic rock powerhouse, needs little introduction. Their concerts are cathartic experiences, steeped in Balkan melancholy and nostalgia, uniting audiences across the region. Their sold-out show at Zagreb’s Pauk in December 2024 and a successful European tour have cemented their reputation, as fans eagerly await the next chapter of their musical triptych “Prokletije.”

She Loves Pablo, Croatia’s groove rock representatives, celebrate 20 years and five studio albums in 2025. Expect a loud, energetic birthday set in Pula. Them Moose Rush, a progressive trio, will match that intensity with their original blend of classic rock, prog, math rock, and noise.

Art Exhibitions, Curated Cinema, Workshops, and More

My Pitbull Lucifer, a Pula-based band featuring seasoned musicians from groups like Bolesno Grinje and Mighty Zazuum, will present new material from their upcoming album “Welcome to New Earth” and revisit tracks from their split album with US doom band Ommnus.

German band Kadeadkas, active since 2016, bring their unique mix of post-punk and psychedelia reminiscent of the ‘70s and ‘80s, with their album “HalluciNation” at the center of their set. Sheik Anorak, a one-man band from Sweden, adds an eclectic touch with electro-minimalism, hypnotic patterns, and infectious melodies.

Beyond the music, DC Rojc Open Air 2025 will feature exhibitions by local artists, a curated cinema program, workshops for young and aspiring musicians, merch stands, and, on Thursday, July 10, the DC Rojc Open Air 2025 Warmup Sessions.
